Why you’ll like it:
Fiveways has been hugely desirable for many years now and it is clear to see why. There is a fantastic mix of shops, bars, delis, award winning bakers and butchers, plus Blakers Park and two stations are within easy walking distance – and this sweet flat sits at the centre of the action.
It has its own street entrance off Preston Drove which leads into the rear of this corner plot house. This opens to the kitchen and dining room which is well-designed for the space to include plenty of storage alongside an integrated oven and hob, plus space for an under-counter fridge freezer and a washing machine.

A timber panelled sliding door reveals the sleeping area to the right which has a mezzanine bed with ample space for hanging clothes beneath it. Next door, the living room enjoys two tall sash windows to bring in plenty of natural light and views which add to the feeling of space and openness. There is room for a cosy chair or sofa so you can relax of an evening in front of the TV.

At the other side of the flat, the bathroom has a classic décor with pale porcelain wall tiles and an electric shower to ensure piping hot water whenever you need it.
Outside, the garden stretches behind the house with an open south, east and westerly aspect to receive the sun from morning through to the afternoon. There is space on the decking for dining alfresco and you can add colour, shape and scent with potted plants and herbs.

Agent’s thoughts:

Owner’s thought:
